4 bedroom detached house
Key information
Property description & features
and Listed Grade II of Special Architectural
or Historic Interest, Elmet House occupies an
elevated position near the centre of the village
and has views to the north across the Kennet
Valley. Typical of this era of domestic architecture,
the house has well proportioned rooms with
good natural light. The property has
undergone extensive sympathetic renovations and
upgrading, including re-fitting the kitchen
and bathrooms. The stunning kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and a smart Falcon range cooker, and the drawing room and sitting room both have attractive open fireplaces. In addition to the principal accommodation in the house there is a separate one bedroom cottage. The house stands in the centre of its partly walled gardens and a south-facing terrace adjoins the rear of the house, beside which is a sheltered dining area.
Initial term of 6 months. Available furnished or unfurnished.
Accessed through electric gates, the property is
approached across a private gravel drive leading
to a large turning circle and parking area in front
of the house. The beautiful gardens are mainly
laid to lawn, surrounded by mature borders
interspersed with a wide variety of shrubs and
trees. Steps lead up from the terrace to the
lawns where mature hedges divide the garden
into separate areas, giving a sense of immense
peace and privacy. To the west of the garden is
the heated swimming pool, and to the south of
the house is a wide paved terrace as well as an
additional area under a pergola clad with climbing
plants, ideal for entertaining or relaxing.
Elmet House lies within the village of Brimpton.
The small village of Brimpton is set in a rural
location between the popular Berkshire towns
of Reading and Newbury. The village has a local
pub and a primary School, while the nearby
villages of Aldermaston and Woolhampton
provide further everyday amenities, including
local shops, pubs and a train station. Newbury
offers a wider selection of amenities and leisure
facilities, and there is an excellent choice of
schools in the area, including Elstree, Cheam,
Horris Hill, Bradfield College and Downe
House. The area is well connected by road, with
the A339 and A4 linking with the M3 and M4,
providing fast access to London, Heathrow
Airport, and the West Country.
There are excellent train services from Midgham
station direct to London Paddington taking from
51 minutes, or from Basingstoke to London
Waterloo in under an hour.
